The project is referred to as the Syferfontein Expansion project. Sasol Mining is planning to extend the existing Syferfontein Mine into the adjacent Block 4 reserves towards the north-west of the Syferfontein reserves. The proposed Block 4 reserves will be mined via underground methods. An Environmental Management Programme (EMP) and Integrated Water Use License Application (IWULA) for the existing Syferfontein Mine are available. Once the EIA / EMP for the proposed Block 4 operations is submitted, these documents are to be combined with the approved environmental authorisations obtained for the new Block 4 operation, in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (Act No. 28 of 2002) (MPRDA). The project area is approximately 8 987 ha. There will be no surface impacts as no infrastructure will be constructed on site. Based on desktop research and a heritage screening assessment (HSA) of the study and project areas, it is evident that diverse heritage resources are expected to occur in the proposed project area. Tangible resources include resources generally protected under the National Heritage Resources Act, 1999 (Act No. 25 of 1999) (NHRA) in terms of: ■ Section 34: historical structures older than 60 years; ■ Section 35: archaeological and palaeontological resources; and ■ Section 36: burial grounds and graves. Due to the absence of the construction of surface infrastructure sources of risk on potential heritage resources in the project area is limited to subsidence. Underground mining through the bord and pillar technique will not impact on archaeological, palaeontological, and built environment resources and burial grounds and graves that may exist on the surface and therefore an HIA is not required for this activity. However, a monitoring programme for inclusion into the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) must be established to assess possible impacts on heritage resource by subsidence. Underground mining presents a source of risk to potential palaeontological resources that may exist beneath the surface. Palaeontological resources that may exist between the shales and coals beneath the surface include plant fossils. According to Section 2 (xxxi) of the NHRA, however, palaeontological resources are defined as any fossilised remains or fossil trace of animals or plants other than fossil fuels or fossiliferous rock intended for industrial use. Furthermore, the fossils associated with the underground coal seams will be poorly preserved as the plants are greatly altered by the natural process of coalification.

  • Greylingstad Mpumalanga Done by Do
    Archaeological investigations, done at Bakkiesfontein 568 IR, (Dipaliseng Local Municipality) Greylingstad Mpumalanga Done by Domonique-Marie Verkerk BHSC (Heritage and Cultural Tourism), 2011, UP BA Archaeology, 2012, UP Tel: 012 3333931 E-mail: [email protected] Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of Pretoria 5 October 2015 Summary Concentration camps were a tactic created by the British to end the South African War (1899- 1902). Many innocent Boer and African families were sent to these camps where they died of diseases, such as, poor conditions and lack of shelters. Boer families were sent to concentration camps in Heidelberg. Africans, on the other hand, were sent to the concentration camp in Greylingstad. A possible location for the African concentration camp in Greylingstad is Bakkiesfontein 568 IR. Unfortunately, there is nothing to show where this camp is as a fire destroyed many of the records. Bakkiesfontein 568 IR was chosen as a possible location for the African concentration camp in Greylingstad because of the old house, stream, stone walls, railway, SR fort and the African cemetery. Bakkiesfontein was surveyed by foot. The aim was to find the location of the concentration camp. Areas where pedestrian surveys were conducted included the house, barn, possible midden, graves, stone walls and stone circle. The pedestrian survey showed that Iron Age communities also lived on the farm. Three test-pits were also conducted. Areas where the test-pits were conducted included the midden, between stone walls and on a slope near a stone wall. The test-pits were not that successful. The artefacts found during the test- pits and surveys include; metal, ceramic pieces and pottery, glass pieces and even plastic.

    GERT SIBANDE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY FINAL IDP 2011/12 TO 2013/14 A DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY STRIVING TO EXCEL IN GOOD GOVERNANCE AND QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE Gert Sibande District Municipality i Foreword by the Executive Mayor It gives me great pleasure to present the Draft Integrated Development Plan for the 2011/12 to 2013/14 Financial Years, in the last year of this Current Term of Office. In reviewing our 2010/11 IDP and subsequently drafting our IDP and Budget respectively for 2011/12 to 2013/14 and beyond, we have consulted quite extensively with our communities in all our constituent Local Municipalities through their varying groupings using our IDP Representative Forum and other IGR structures institutionalised within our Municipality. Culminating from the state of the Nation and state of the Province Addresses respectively, and aforementioned consultation and engagements with varying stakeholders the following Key Development objectives were identified as pertinent in bringing about improved quality of life for our entire populace:- Facilitate creation of more jobs and descent work; Form strategic partnerships in fighting hunger and poverty; Advocate for access to quality education for all our citizens; Ensure proper health care for all our communities; Ensure sustainable development of all rural communities within our jurisdictional area; Harness the building of safer and secure communities To date resounding success has been realised in number of areas, where many of our people are living decent lives as a result of the services provided by the District in collaboration with its social partners. Whilst much has been achieved, there is still much that needs to be done to reverse and ultimately eradicate undesired consequences of underdevelopment, inequality, unemployment, HIV/AIDS and poverty.
